Yep, triplets. Two boys and a girl, born yesterday morning without any problems. All three little darlings are doing fine so far. They're much smaller than the other lambs; the tiniest one is only about the size of The Doodle. (I really should weigh them. I suppose I could just plunk them down on my kitchen scale--how cute would that be?) Second time mother Annie, who had just one tiny boy last year, is extremely pleased, if a bit tired. I am thrilled.

Each day brings more surprises. Add sunshine, blue skies, and a non-stop parade of hundreds and hundreds of squawking geese high overhead flying north (one of the neatest things about living here), and, well, things on the farm are good. Crazy, but good.

There are stories. Stories I want to remember but know I will forget. Stories I need to write down. But right now there simply isn't time. Right now I'm headed back out into the sunshine and down to the barn--surprises await.

Congrats on triplets! Wonderful that your ewes can handle three little hungry babies. Studly Jefferson is definitely Da Man (or Da Ram as it were).! Thank you for the new baby pics - always good for some "awwwssss". We are waiting on the second small wave here - some of the goats are on a different schedule so are due in late March and early April - I love those goats - it is warm and lovely in Texas in April!

Oh my! There's MUCH to be done around the farm this time of year, isn't there? Congrats on all the beautiful lambs. How sweet! Can't wait to see more pix. Take care of those woolly babies and get back to us when you can!

Triplets! I'm glad all is well - I otld Martyn last night you are way ahead of us here! I'm actually hoping we DON'T have any triplets, but Daisy is so big...Our real due date is 3/10 also - yes, MY birthday [thank you for remembering] and I'm thinking it might be wild and fun if all lambs come at once - what the heck - OK - I ate all those cookies, can you send more? Love to all the ne moms, babies and Sheperdess from Apifera...

I would not get anything done with fellows like that sitting around. I'd have to camp out in the barn with them. I'm bad enough with a cat around for distractions but a whole bunch of 'SHEEPS' would kill me!!!!!

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.
